Accurate Length Measuring 534 harvesting head knife arms

Overview

The 534 is a three-wheel drive harvesting head with a triangulated wheel arm design. Four knife arms, along with fixed front and back knives provide excellent delimbing quality. Well suited to mixed diameter in-stand harvesting, the 534 is designed to match the high performance characteristics of the 1165 harvester.

Accurate Length Measuring

The horizontally pivoting, trailing-arm design provides excellent tree contact for accurate length measuring. Hydraulic cylinder actuation provides immediate response and consistent, accurate contact. The large diameter measuring wheel minimizes length measuring errors. The measuring wheel retracts for reduced wear and damage.

Various wheel styles are available to suit different applications.

Accurate Length Measuring

Durable Design and Construction

Cast steel knife arms for superior strength, impact resistance and extended service life. Knife arms are mounted using large taper lock-style pins with sealed bushings.

Both harvester and processor profiles are available. Processing knife arms are specially designed for high performance when picking trees from the unprocessed pile.

Strong Feed Performance

The 534 has a locked three-wheel drive system. Triangulated wheel arms maintain positive tree contact and control. The arms support the weight of the stem, allowing for lower knife pressures and less friction. The result is less wear and faster feeding speed.
